Halford sell the same type of tape that's on the back of your badge.

I used it to stick a head badge on and it's not fallen off yet.

3M VHB is what you need

Some 3M VHB double sided adhesive gel tape is best. Auto trim tape also works fine, 2 part epoxy (araldite) will also do the job but is harder to make it neat and difficult to remove should you need to. For the tapes, make sure the back of the badge and headtube are perfectly clean. Warm both the surfaces and the tape with a hairdryer and you will get a very good bond. Be aware that even with tape you won't get full bond strength for around 24 hours after application.
